Mamie taught herself to decorate cakes. She bought a book, read it, practiced and ended up with a successful business making cakes for weddings, birthdays, retirements and anniversaries.
She took pictures of many of her cakes. I found them in a drawer the other day and scanned them into my computer. Here are some of them.
This is in one of the dining rooms of Mamie's restaurant.
Here is Bumpa fooling around with one of the finished products.
I can just imagine Mamie hollering at him not to touch it!
Here is Mamie putting the finishing touch on a cake before the guests arrived.
I am in awe of the tenacity and intelligence Mamie exhibited in teaching herself to make such works of art.

You stole the words from my mouth, awesome!
Wow!! Your Mamie had some amazing talent! Those cakes are breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing that piece of her with us.
What a talented woman! I now know where you get some of your culinary skill. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
It needs a lot of talent but also a lot of tenacity to be able to make such professional cakes only by reading books and practice. She must be a very strong-will lady. I admire such persons.
My grandmother taught herself to decorate cakes as well! It takes a lot of willpower and dedication!
What talent. I am always impressed with anyone that can make gorgeous cakes but to teach yourself - amazing!
I know everyone is in awe of the tenacity of her will power, very talented lady there...
